Ruby Franke’s journal entries have been revealed after the YouTuber was sentenced to four to 30 years in prison on multiple child abuse charges.
According to the report by E! News prosecutor revealed that Ruby Franke’s journal kept detailed entries about the mistreatment she inflicted upon her kids.
Prosecutors released scans from a handwritten diary belonging to Franke that detailed her behavior toward her children.
Ruby Franke’s journal, which had the names of Franke’s kids redacted to protect their privacy, the 42-year-old described one child as “Satanic.”
“He slithers & sneaks around looking for opportunities when no one is watching & then he scurries,” she wrote in an entry dated July 10, 2023, which was the boy’s 12th birthday. “If he wants to emulate the savior, he needs to be 100% obedient with exactness. No wavering, no hiding.”
Elsewhere in the diary, the mom of six detailed how she confronted the same son over his “deviant behavior” by holding him underwater in the family pool.
“I told him, ‘Give your demon friend a message for me. I will not rest. I will not stop,'” she wrote. “‘The devil lies and says I’m hurting you, abusing you.'”
In addition to her son, Franke also believed another one of her children was possessed by a demon. In multiple diary entries, the YouTuber described her 9-year-old daughter as “sinful” and “manipulative.”
“These selfish, selfish children who desire only to take, lie, and attack have zero understanding of god’s love for them,” Franke wrote in a July 23, 2023 entry.
“Oppositional force is required for growth, development and maturity. [They] have never experienced oppositional force. They are very weak-minded.”
Throughout the journal, Franke also seemingly detailed a variety punishments she imposed on her kids, including beating, poking, withholding food and water and forcing them to jump on a trampoline.
“The world we live in today does not support children being uncomfortable,” she wrote in an Aug. 15, 2023 entry. “They, the adults, are uncomfortable w/ children being uncomfortable. And so children are comforted, entertained, distracted from the need to confess + change. Stripping down a child’s world to the basics of beans + rice + hard work would be considered abuse. And it’s not. It’s necessary for the prideful child.”
